5 th^ edition. What is referencing? Referencing is a standardized way of acknowledging the source of information and ideas that you have used in your work and which allows the sources to be identified. Why reference? Reference is important to avoid plagiarism, to verify quotations and to enable readers to follow-up what you have written and more fully understand the cited author’s work. Steps in Referencing Record the full bibliographic detail and relevant page numbers of the source from which information is taken. Insert the citation at the appropriate place in the text of your document. Include a reference list that includes all in-text citations at the end of your document.
In-text citations In an author-date style, in-text citation usually requires the name of the author(s) and the year of publication. A page number is included if you have a direct quote, paraphrase a passage or you want to direct the reader to a specific page or idea. Page numbers may also be included if you are referring to a long work and the page number may be useful to the reader.
